Welcome to the Watson Fellowship Symposium Website!
Professor William J. Peace will host a day long symposium on disability, bio-ethics, and contemporary medicine. He will deliver a lecture on disability, bio-ethics, and health care. Joining the symposium will be Barbara Farlow and Brenda Brueggemann who will address issues of life, death, and disability. Farlow travels widely and discusses the human rights of children with trisomy 13, the genetic anomaly that took her own daughter’s life. Professor Brueggemann of The University of Louisville will discuss the Nazi “T-4 Project” and its implications for contemporary scholars of disability and medicine.
